Abstract
A radio communication control device accepts a call-up from a radio communication terminal and includes a unit configured to detect the degree of jamming in a cell, a unit configured to confirm the intention of a user of a terminal concerned as to whether the call-up is continued regardless of addition of an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has been made from a radio communication terminal in the cell concerned in a specific jammed state, a unit configured to block the call-up concerned in accordance with the confirmed intention of the user of the terminal concerned and a unit configured to change charge setting so as to add an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has not been blocked in the specific jammed state.
Claims16
A radio communication control device that accepts a call-up from a radio communication terminal comprising:
- means configured to detect the degree of jamming in a cell;
- means configured to confirm the intention of a user of a terminal concerned as to whether the call-up is continued regardless of addition of an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has been made from a radio communication terminal in the cell concerned in a specific jammed state;
- means configured to block the call-up concerned in accordance with the confirmed intention of the user of the terminal concerned;
- and
- means configured to change charge setting so as to add an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has not been blocked in the specific jammed state.
A radio communication control device that calls a radio communication terminal comprising:
- means configured to detect a jammed state in a cell;
- means configured to confirm, when a call-in to a terminal belonging to the cell concerned has been made in a specific jammed state, a previously declared intention of the user of the terminal concerned as to whether call reception is refused;
- and
- means configured to block connection to the terminal concerned when the confirmed intention is an intention to refuse call reception in the specific jammed state.
A radio communication system that accepts a call-up from a radio communication terminal at a base station, wherein
- the base station detects the degree of jamming in a cell concerned and including
- means to block a call-up made from a radio communication terminal in the cell concerned in a specific jammed state in accordance with the intention of the user of the terminal concerned and change charge setting to add an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has not been blocked in the specific jammed state.
A radio communication system that calls a radio communication terminal communicable with a base station, wherein
- the base station detects the degree of jamming in a cell concerned, and including
- means to block a call-in to a terminal belonging to the cell concerned made in a specific jammed state, confirm a previously declared intention of the user of the terminal concerned as to whether call reception is refused, and block connection to the terminal concerned when the confirmed intention is an intention to refuse call reception in the specific jammed state.
A radio communication terminal comprising:
- means configured to receive and store a notification of a jammed state in a cell;
- means configured to make a call-up to a terminal of a call mate;
- means configured to confirm the intention of a user as to whether the call-up is made regardless of addition of an extra to the user's telephone call charge in a specific jammed state upon calling-up;
- and
- means configured to block the call-up in accordance with the intention of the user when the jammed state in the cell concerned is the specific jammed state upon calling-up.
A radio communication terminal comprising:
- means configured to accept and store a notification of a jammed state in a cell;
- means configured to make a call-in;
- means configured to confirm the intention of a user as to whether call reception is refused in a specific jammed state;
- and
- means configured to block a response to general calling of terminals in a cell when the intention of the user is the intention to refuse call reception.
A radio communication terminal that performs data communication comprising:
- means configured to set as to whether data communication at a data rate is refused in a QoS guaranteed area;
- and
- means configured to confirm set details in the case that its current location is in the QoS guaranteed area and block uploading and downloading at said data rate in the case that setting to refuse the data communication is made.
